Heh heh... you finally found it didn't you? My most ambititous project
ever... a FAQ/Walkthrough for Pokemon Gold/Silver. Uh huh... I bet you're
proud. Now for some, Pokemon is a demon seed, and any Pikachus should be
shot on sight. I agree with the last part, but Pokemon is probably the most
complex game ever released for Game Boy. Now, on with the show.

1) Revision History:
v Final:
-Nuked all forms of filler
-Replaced "Team Ratings" with a new misc. section - Team Strategy.
-Brought a lot of info from the Crystal FAQ in - complete breeding chains
for every move (with special notation if the move is Crystal-exclusive),
a full item list, a couple of cool tricks, and some new Pokecenter moves.
-Hopefully, I won't get the same e-mails over and over again - added a
couple of new FAQs. Read these over VERY carefully.
This is the final update of this guide. Absolute final. *523 KB*
v 2.6
-Made a small correction in the Hidden Power section.
-Added Pokecenter moves (moves learned via Mystery Eggs from New York City's
Pokecenter) where appropriate.
-Added a way to get through the 1st part of Mt. Silver without using Flash
(thanks to JamesXXIV). *444 KB*
v 2.5
-Added that nasty little ASCII art at the top (which I freely admit, I
lifted it from MetroidMoo's Pokemon Yellow guide and modified).
-Banned another site, due to plagarism. Tsk tsk... I warned you, didn't
I?
-Corrected the L50 stats to reflect the Wild Maximum (the current values
are logically impossible to do DV checks with).
-Updated the Movesets by Ibuki section.
-Added two more tips. These are evil...
-Made minor corrections. If anything major breaks, I'll put it in,
otherwise, this will be the final update. *444 KB*
v 2.0 (Final?)
-This FAQ (and my others) can now be found at NeoSeeker (www.neoseeker.com).
-Added Minimize in the move list (insert giant DOH! here) thanks to Feng
Rao)
-Added a clarification to the Breeding section (thanks to SpaceDog)
-Found a new method for calculating DVs, and added L50 max stats to
everyone in the Pokedex.
-Updated Movesets by Ibuki.
This update would've been up earlier, but the start of school delayed me,
as did my loss of enthusiasm after September 11 (and if you don't know
what happened on that day, what rock have you been living under?) *449 KB*
v 1.9- Made some minor changes to the FAQs (read carefully)
-Added a note on the Ruins (thanks to Tristan). Also, if you need to know
the answers for the Ruins, go to
http://www.geocities.com/meowth346/gs/faq/alphabet/alphabet.htm
-Added a note about Mystery Gift in the Walkthrough (check Goldenrod)
-Also added something for those who need more training time in the Indigo
Plateau section.
-Since Pokemon Crystal has been released, I've added Crystal moves to the
Pokedex and changed its description around in the Future Games section. (Bad
news for Celebi fans...)
-Amended one of the GameShark cheats (the one for getting all three starters)
thanks to Murky the Murkrow.
-frank@cheats.de is not smart... for spidering the GameFAQs contributor
database and sending us all annoying e-mails, you are the weakest link!
G'bye. (I love that show!!) *438 KB*
v 1.8- Added two FAQs, both of which deal with Hidden Power in some way.
-Corrected some mistakes in Movesets, and added (Crystal Influence) where
needed

together)
-Also added Max PP codes (thanks to spunman) *428 KB*
v 1.7- Added Webmaster's Instructions (read them very carefully).
-Added a new FAQ, and eliminated the FAQ about Pokemon evolution (look in
the PokÚdex for that info).
-The PokÚdex still isn't a one stop shop for all Pokemon data, but it's
close... Added R/B/Y move info and shuffled the Pokemon so they are in
New PokÚdex order.
-Added Movesets by Ibuki. Read or your life is forefit (KIDDING!!)
-Corrected something in the Attachment section (thanks to Darcy Wartenkin)
-Added new Tips (thanks to Byron Kazek and Vaughn Wares)
-Added some notes about Stadium 2 and Crystal in the Future Games section
Don't ask why there hasn't been an update since March, as I don't have time
to get into it. *421 KB*
v 1.6-Added 3 FAQs. Thanks to John Jones for the team in the second one.
-Added 7 teams. This will be the last update that I will add teams to
the FAQ. Afterwards, either see me on the GameFAQs message boards, or Azure
Heights (www.azureheights.com).
-Added a Public Service Announcement (check the bottom of Team Ratings).
-Added that Jigglypuff can be caught on Route 46 (thanks to Byron Kazek)
-Added a ranking system for each of the stats in the PokÚdex.
-Corrected a few notes in the Attaching Items section.
-Added a new trick (Better Credit Skip) thanks to Stephanie Ng.

just say it involves early moves...
-Made the formatting in the FAQ uniform. *371 KB*
v 1.5-PokÚdex is done! Yeah! *does a weird dance*
-Corrected some of the info about Pokemon Locations (thanks to MMevasian's
Pokemon G/S FAQ).
-Added some important info to the Breeding Section.
-Added two FAQs.
-Added several teams. *NOTE* Ibuki will not be rating any teams for the
time being, as he has some personal problems to work out.

-Added a Future Games section. (Most of the stuff in there is rumor, but
hey, it'll help get you ready.) *353 KB*
v 1.4-PokÚdex done to Mew. Still adding moves that can be learned by
breeding for previously listed Pokemon.
-Added 3 more teams, and modified my team.
-Added Attaching Items section.
-Added Calender of Events.
-Added Tips and Tricks section (currently 3 in there, if you know more,
please submit!)
-Corrected a couple of moves in Move List (Curse does _not_ double the
Attack and Defense ratings while cutting Speed in half, it just raises
Attack and Defense while lowering Speed. Also, Safeguard has Reflect's
property: you can switch and the new Pokemon is guarded).
-Added Gameshark/Game Genie section, though I don't condone use of those
devices. (I've had several files deleted on my Red and Yellow games due
to over-Sharking.)
-Organized the credits by section for my own convience.
-Please, if you're going to e-mail me a question, read the entire FAQ
before typing out the e-mail. 95% of the e-mails I get regarding this game
are in here, so why not just look for yourself? (If this does continue, I
will start blocking adresses... and you don't want that, do you?) *294 KB*
v 1.3: (a big update)
-PokÚdex done to Golem. Made a few changes for the Pokemon that
were previously listed (some new moves that can be learned by breeding.)
-Added a note to the walkthrough under the Ruins of Alph. I will be ignoring
any e-mail about this from now on.
-By popular demand, fixed up a part of the Whirl Islands walkthrough.
-Added a Move Listing.
-Added a Type (Dis)Advantages section. Basically, it tells what types are
good or bad against a specific type. (Thanks to John Jones.)
-Added 2 teams to the Team Rating section. Thanks to Ibuki2002 for the help
with ratings.
-Added a new FAQ.
-Added a note to the Happiness Evolution section (thanks to TheRockBoS)
*196 KB*
v 1.2: PokÚdex done up to Dugtrio. Added a couple of Miscellaneous Sections,
(Breeding and Happiness). Made a few TM corrections. Added a new question
to the FAQ section. Added the Team Rating section.
*146 KB*

TM/HM sections. Also, you can now view this FAQ at www.gamespot.com.
*126 KB*
v 1.0: Walkthrough is complete, PokÚdex should be completely up within
another update. Considering adding a Best Teams section, where I'll rate
your teams. Don't expect that for another few revisions. *94 KB*

My work is something that I am quite proud of, and if anyone is caught
using this FAQ for anything OTHER than what it was desinged for, it is
PLAGARISM. Pure and simple. If I receive an email telling me that this
document is being misused on the web, I will contact the webmaster and
demand it be removed. If this is not done within 14 days, I will be
forced to take legal action, and I don't want to go that far. Make my
life easier, and don't plagarise.

2a) Webmaster Instructions
Some basic guidlines for those who are interested in getting this or any
of my guides.
-I will NOT have this document put up on any personal webpage, except my
own. Why? Because I'm not sure if you're going to use the document properly
(basically, I'm paranoid that you'll commit one of the Deadly Sins outlined
below).
-If you want to use this guide on your site, e-mail me about it first. That
way, I can see if the site is worth it, or a waste of time. By the same
token, if you e-mail me saying "I'm starting a website, and was wondering if
I could use your guide", or something similar, I'm going to turn you down on
the spot.
-GameFAQs (and Gamewinners, with the two sites recently pairing up) are the
only sites that get my guides automatically. Anyone else, you'll have to
ask me.
The deadly sins that will see you automatically rejected are:
-HTMLizing the guide. I feel that it's pointless to HTML a quide of this
size when you can get a smaller, more manageable version at GameFAQs/Winners,
and get the exact same info.
-Ad banners on the top. Most people don't like someone else getting paid
for their work, and I'm one of them.
-Plagarising another guide of mine (Earthbound and Mega Man 4 currently).
If you pull this little stunt, consider any partnerships we have had
severed.
-Posting the guide without my express written permission. Guaranteed to
tick me off, and will warrant the 14-day notice that I outline in the
disclaimer.
-Spidering a site like GameFAQs and sending me multiple e-mails asking to
use the guide.
Currently banned:
freshbakedgames.com (Spidering)
frank@cheats.de (Spidering)
pokemonelite.cjb.net (Plagarism)
More to come...
3) FAQs
This is the section where I answer some of the questions about the game. Be
warned: If you ask me a question by e-mail that's already in here, it will
be ignored completely.
Q: Which Pokemon are not available in G/S in any legitimate way?
A: The Red/Blue starters and their evolutions (the Bulbasaur, Charmander,
and Squirtle families), Omanyte and Omastar, Kabuto and Kabutops, the
mystical birds (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres), Mewtwo, and Mew.
Q: I heard about a Pokemon called Celebi. Where is it?
A; Anywhere you want... if you have a Gameshark/Game Genie. Otherwise,
you'll have to go to a Nintendo-sponsered event and ask for one there. Dates
are posted on Pokemon.com.
Q: How do I attach an item?
A: Select it in your inventory and select "Give." This will open the
Pokemon screen, where you pick the Pokemon that you want to give the item
to.
Q: What's the point of the Mystery Gift option?
A: It gives you the option to pick up certain items that you can use in the
game. For example, it's the only way to get extra Evolution Stones, and a
rare item called the Scope Lens.
Q: Where can I find the Super Rod?
A: On Kanto's Route 12, same as in the original games.
Q: Which are better: Red/Blue Pokemon or Gold/Silver Pokemon?
A: In a fight, Gold/Silver would probably win. Since many of the G/S Pokemon
learn brand-new moves, you're probably better off raising in G/S than
importing from your old game.
Q: When does the Time Capsule open?
A: The day after you hit Ecruteak City. See the walkthrough for more info.
Q: What Pokemon are eligible for the Time Capsule?
A: Any of the original 151, as long as they have no new moves, and no items
attached. *Thanks to Roberto for this question*
Q: What Pokemon swarm, and how do I find out?
A: Pokemon swarms happen only if a trainer calls you and says "You've gotta
see this! A whole bunch of (insert Pokemon here) are swarming all over
(insert location here)!" The Pokemon and trainers you need to contact are:
Ralph on Route 32 tells you when Qwilfish swarm. Fish Route 32 when they do.
Anthony on 33 has information on when Dunsparce swarm. The Dunsparce are in
Dark Cave.
On Route 35, get Arnie's number to find out about when Yanma swarm. Yanma
will be in Route 35.
Chad on Route 38 knows when the Snubbull swarm in that area.
Wilton on Route 44 will call you if the Remoraid swarm Route 44.
Parry on Route 45 keeps his eye on the Marill situation in Mt. Mortar.
Q: Where are the Once-A-Week Siblings, and what do they have?
A: Sibling Location Day Item
Sunny Route 37 Sunday Magnet (powers up Electric)
Monica Route 40 Monday Sharp Beak (Flying)
Tuscany Route 29 Tuesday Pink Bow (Normal)
Wesley Lake of Rage Wednesday Black Belt (Fighting)
Arthur Route 36 Thursday Hard Rock (Rock)
Frieda Route 32 Friday Poison Barb (Poison)
Santos Blackthorne City Saturday Spell Tag (Ghost)
These will not be mentioned in the Walkthrough, so be sure to remember when
and where they are.
Q: The order I fought the trainer's Pokemon didn't match the walkthrough!
What's going on?
A: Unlike Red/Blue, where it was obvious in what order you'd fight the
Pokemon in, the people at Game Freak decided to randomize things in G/S. In
the walkthrough, the trainer's Pokemon are listed in order of level. But
the hints remain the same.
Q: What attacks are based on the Attack stat? *Thanks to Michael for this*
A: Normal, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Bug, Rock, Ghost, and Steel
are all considered physical attacks, and run on the Attack stat. By the
same token, Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Ice, Psychic, Dragon, and Dark
are Special moves. Hence, they run on the Special Attack stat.
Q: What Pokemon evolve by Element Stones?
A:
Fire- Vulpix (Ninetales), Growlithe (Arcanine), Eevee (Flareon)
Water- Poliwhirl (Poliwrath), Shellder (Cloyster), Staryu (Starmie), Eevee
(Vaporeon)
Electric- Pikachu (Raichu), Eevee (Jolteon)
Grass- Gloom (Vileplume), Weepinbell (Victreebel), Exeggcute (Exeggutor)
Moon- Nidorina (Nidoqueen), Nidorino (Nidoking), Clefairy (Clefable),
Jigglypuff (Wigglytuff)
Sun (new stone)- Gloom (Bellossom), Sunkern (Sunflora)
Q: Okay, fine. Now where are these stones? (This question asked in some way
by about ten people).
A: Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric: The Route 25 side quest. (See the
walkthrough for more info). After they are exausted, you can Mystery Gift
them.
Sun- Win the Bug-Catching Contest.
Moon- Route 26 (Waterfall area), Mt. Moon on Mondays, Mom might buy one for
you.
Q: When are you going to update?
A: When I get the chance. Keep some things in mind:
1)) I do have a life outside of my FAQs. I am in school, go to a youth group,
coordinate three Key Clubs in my area, and get very tired very quickly.
2)) I am a hideously slow typer.
3)) I have other projects besides this FAQ. (Though you wouldn't know it if
you could see my inbox.)
Q: What areas are considered forest, and what areas are considered mountains?
And why does it mean anything?
A: Second question first: It means something because there are Pokemon (4,
6 if you count the fact that they evolve) that can only be found by using
Headbutt on small trees. Forest areas yield Pineco and Exeggcute, while
mountain areas give up Aipom and Heracross.
Forest areas are the areas between Cherrygrove and Ecruteak Cities,
plus Routes 35-41. Everything else is considered mountain. Easy, isn't it?
Q: What do I do after beating Red?
A: You can complete your PokÚdex, or try to get a team up to max stats.
This should keep you occupied for a good two months.
Q: What's a good team for catching Pokemon?
A: This is from John Jones (you'll see him later in Type (Dis)Advantages).
The levels aren't important, just make sure they're not too high.
Paras/Parasect - Leech Life, Spore, Slash, Giga Drain
Jynx - Lovely Kiss, Ice Punch, Body Slam, Powder Snow
Cubone/Marowak - Bonemerang, Headbutt, Bone Rush, False Swipe (attaching a
Thick Bone makes this even deadlier)
Scyther/Scizor - False Swipe, Wing Attack, Metal Claw/Pursuit, Slash
Koffing/Weezing - Sludge, Sludge Bomb, Poison Gas, Selfdestruct/Explosion
Pikachu/Raichu - Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Hidden Power
Now the trick is this: Lead with Parasect, and Spore the target to sleep. If
it's a fast Fire-type or Flying-type, you're dust, but that's what Pikachu's
Thunder Wave is for. Against anything but Ghost, Poison, Ground, Rock, or
Steel-types, trust in Poison Gas or even Sludge (Watch any level
disadvantages, as you don't want to KO the target.) Once their incapacitated,
send in Scyther or Cubone to False Swipe them within an inch of living. Then
send Parasect/Jynx into action for capture purposes, ONLY if you used a
sleep attack on them. keep the target alseep once it's down to 1 HP, and
start tossing pokeballs. And as for the movesets, well there needn't be an
EXACT match, but I use some of my hunting party in battle as well, plus
you'll need Headbutt to find some Pokemon anyways.
Q: How the (radio edit) do I get those max stats? IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!
A: Simmer down, cowpoke. There's no definite way to get max stats, but
these things will help.
1) Catching a Pokemon with good potential. If the Pokemon can be caught,
snag 4-5 of each species at their lowest level (where possible) and compare
their stats. Take the one with higher stats in the categories you consider
important (I like Pokemon that can take plenty of hits, so the Defenses
and HP are important to me. You may see things differently.) and raise
that sucker up!
2) Raising its levels. This means one thing: Lots of battling. Yes, in some
cases you'll have to take that sucker up from L5 to L100. But it's worth it.
A piece of advice: Make sure your Pokemon can apply the finishing blow in
the fight. The "bait-and-switch" method may make get you level-ups faster,
but the stats will be lower.
3) Drugs. They're bad for you, but good for Pokemon. At some point (some
prefer the lowest level, others prefer L100, I personally just give them
as I can), pump them full of HP Up, Protein, Iron, Carbos, and Calcium. This
can be an expensive operation ($9800 x 10 boosters x 5 different boosters
x 6 Pokemon = $2,940,000, or about 97 run-throughs of the Elite 4 and
Ash), but worth it for Step 4.
4) The Box Trick. Outlined in full in the Tips and Tricks section, this
will fill in any missing stats. You won't have to do this as much if you
turn your Pokemon into drug addicts, but it's still a necessary operation.
*NOTE* Shiny Pokemon CANNOT achieve max stats. Thus making them useless...
